Description
Het verhaal achter de brouwerij begint bij stamvader Balthazar De Landtsheer, die in 1773 in Baasrode werd geboren en er brouwerij “ De Halve Maan “ oprichtte. Zijn zoon, Eduard De Landtsheer, geboren in 1808, nam de roerstok over. In 1839 nam zijn kleinzoon, Emmanuel De Landtsheer, zijn intrek in de bestaande afspanning-boerderij-brouwerij “'t Meuleke“ in Baasrode-Zuid. Hij veranderde de naam in “Brouwerij De Zon“ (vandaar de oranje huiskleur). Het bedrijf was zo succesvol dat de boerderij mettertijd werd afgestoten en dat bier brouwen de hoofdactiviteit werd. Na zijn overlijden in 1879 werd Emmanuel eerst opgevolgd door zijn zoon Charles en later door zijn kleinzoon die ook Emmanuel heette. Emmanuel De Landtsheer schakelde tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog over van brouwen op bottelen en bierhandel. Na de oorlog kreeg zijn zoon Adolf de leiding in handen.
In augustus 1997 werd in de oude brouwerij van de familie De Landtsheer terug opgestart door Manu De Landtsheer, zoon van Adolf, onder de naam “Brouwerij Malheur“. Zo werd de familiale brouwtraditie in ere hersteld.

Good white, fluffy head; clear-golden beer, little carbonation. Very pronounced malts nose, greenmalt. Sharp, but sweet roasted taste, faint vanilla. Some sourness, all due to CO². Despite little visible carbonation, quite fizzy MF. Aftertaste is soft-sweet, bit sugar-icing like. This is enormously difficult to describe; as given it sounds like a "luxus pilsener". But be assured, it is MUCH better than that. Just quite neutral - a bit like a Chivas Regal Royal Salute...

Skortila shared this bottle with me and another friend, and i’m so glad he did! Cloudy brown color, medium brown head. Aroma is exceptionally good, strong black and roasted malt, but also soft notes with vanilla and toffee. White wine, sherry. Taste is full bodied with malty and fruity tones. The brut yeast makes the beer quite dry. Alcohol burn is only slightly present, but it suits the beer perfectly. A newcomer in my personal top10!

(Bottle 33 cl) Orange golden hazy ale with an impressive "shaving foam" tall and stable head. Some malt, but it’s the extreme hops, that really characterizes this beer. A bitterness that lasts all the way to the palate. Impressive number of Malheur variations, that De Landtsheer produces. 071104

(Bottle 75 cl) Very dark, almost black with a fine slightly off-white head. Huge almost vulgar champagne-like bubbles. Extremely complex aromas of....I don’t really know what - some coffee perhaps. Dry and rather bitter. But an extremely complex flavoural pattern and indeed a unique experience. 190305

(Bottle 75 cl) The colour of acacia honey Tina claims, adding that she’s got a bracelet the same colour. Well, so be it: this is acacia honey coloured. Tall bubbly and very full head. Loads of floating impurities. Sweetish with pronounced notes of yeast and a solid hoppiness to level things out. Produced by the "méthode champenoise". 190305
